Bumgarner actually. We will never see his likes again in playoffsQuote:

Will check the scorecard in the am.
Can’t let Ohtani hit more than one homer. After his first two at bats he should have been walked everytime.
And our bats went dead after 3 of our top batters were taken out. I guess 4 if you include Barger.
How improbable was Will Klein's performance tonight?
In AAA this year, he had a 6.23 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through 43.1 innings.
In 2024, his only prior Major League season, he gave up 9 ER, 12 H, and 6 BB in just 7.1 innings.
The only positive number? He had a 2.35 ERA and 21 K with the Dodgers over 14 appearances this season over 15 1/3 innings, but still allowed 24 baserunners (14 H, 10 BB).
Here he just strolls into Game 3 of the World Series in extras, and tosses 4 scoreless, allowing just 1 hit, 2 walks, and striking out 5, including the last batter when he was clearly out of gas. Klein also never threw more than 30 pitches this year with the Dodgers until tonight. He had 72 here.
He will probably go back to being a failpitcher after this, but at least he'll have this game he can show to his grandkids one day.
Very low chance Kershaw throws another pitch in MLB, unless he's absolutely needed.
They can leave this outing as his final contribution -- getting a necessary final out in a tied game during extras, with inherited runners on base, which the Dodgers ultimately won.
Now if the Dodgers win this ring, he gets to really say he was part of the effort, rather than just a mop-up guy who was hammered for 6 runs in his one appearance.
That's the reason he came back -- so he can actually have been part of a winning full season World Series.
This game was really close to perfect as far as stories that can be told for this year's team. Ohtani absolutely dominated with the bat to the point of setting a modern-era extra base hit record, and then was auto-walked in his last FIVE plate appearances, going 9/9 in reaching base today (another record). Kershaw got his happy ending postseason performance, albeit very brief. The pitching hero was not one of the high priced acquisitions, but a no-name minor leaguer who somehow shut down the Blue Jays for the final 4 innings of the contest. And then Freddie Freeman gets another walkoff HR, reminiscent of last year.
New Bonds-Ohtani Rule coming?

I kind of agree that it takes a lot of the fun out of the game for them just to decide to auto-walk a hot superstar. They wouldn't let him hit in his final FIVE plate appearances.
So you can just throw 4 balls a foot outside the strike zone? Seems silly. Just part of the game. If Mookie was normal Mookie, they couldn’t do it. Right now, it’s dumb to pitch to him in any tight game. That’s up to the bottom to the lineup to create a situation where they can’t. Or move him down in lineup.Quote:

Probably quite ploppy, but I bet o8

Freeman or Muncy HR +190
Wonder how much walking of Ohtani will occur today.
Until G4 of the NLCS, the belief was that his hitting is diminished on days he pitches.
Last night’s game solidified that ticket prices will remain shitty for the last 2 home games.
$754 for nosebleeds.
Guess I won’t be visiting the stadium again until 2026.
They won’t try to walk him to lead off an inning I don’t think. But anytime he comes up with a free base and at least 1 out, they’re going to walk him. Or no outs and guys at 2nd or 2nd and third. Like I’m walking him in way more scenarios than I’m pitching to him. He beat you single handedly last night. The other solo HRs are irrelevant without his 4 for 4
I’m letting Bieber pitch to him once.
And fluharty once too. But that’s it. Walk every other time.
Paid $1800 apiece for these ones. Go Dodgers!Quote:

I really despise the fact that this asshole still owns the lots.
$1800/ea is actually a very good price for what appears to be 9th or 10th row field level seats behind home. How did you manage that?
To show you how things have changed, I paid $606 each for field level seats, row G, section 34 (a little past 1B) in 2018. And that was against Boston, a more high profile team!
While it's true I got a bargain (I bought 90 minutes before the game), you couldn't get nosebleeds for this game at any point for $606, let alone decent field level seats.
Ohtani wasn’t pitching. Just Kershaw.Quote:

I think he's just private.
In the meantime, Sean Perry is in da house, dressed like Super Mario for some reason.

Dieter plays Jesus Christ Superstar in honor of the Dodgers savior, Ohtani.
The unexpected issue here, beyond the bad bullpen, has been the Dodgers' bats being dead at home.
They've had 2 runs in the last 19 innings.
I blame Jayjami and Sean Perry.
Made some coin between last night and tonight.
We thought game 3 was the big one but turns out game 5 will be the one (for now)
They are on the loge, not field level.Quote:

That ski resort job must have paid well.
I used to go to Mauna Kea in the '90s and '00s when it was more reasonably priced. Now it's too damn expensive, so I stay at the Hapuna Prince next door, which is also a good place, though not quite as high end. Great snorkeling off that beach, too. Just gotta hope a shark doesn't eat you. A shark ate some woman about 2 weeks after I was last there.
I see nosebleeds in Toronto for game 6 are presently $1300 USD, which translates to like $100,000 CAD.
LOL Canada
Toronto is awful for ticket prices in all sports.Quote:

If the Dodgers win tonight I would imagine prices will drop but if the Jays pull it off tonight they likely skyrocket even more.
Lol that you think I work because I need the money.Quote:

Vladdy +275 big valueQuote:

And let's be honest with ourselves it's Ohtani vs Vladdy.
With parking and modern public transportation you can consider watching the whole game at Roger’s Center like a human being instead of the EoT Escape From New York apocalyptic scene 8th inning in LA.Quote:

I did a gig as a kid with the company that installed the fire alarm in Roger’s Center. The manufacturer was Toronto based. It was one of the first microprocessor based and distributed systems and it was a disaster. The program was burned onto EPROMs. I could poke hexadecimal data into them on site which was viewed as magic back in the day. Evacuating the stadium due to false alarms at Rogers Center simply wasn’t an option.
A fire watch in lieu of a working system would have freaked people out. Fun times but great stadium. World class city
Everyone concerned would literally pay any sum to make the problem go away.
Yeah I always had you chalked up as one of those dudes who believes you die when you completely slow down or just worked jobs you thought were cool to meet new people. Like it would take a whole season of one of your random jobs to pay for a few nights of your trips, knew you were an attorney and it was pretty clear your father was hella rich. Plus your view isn’t blackjack dealer viewsQuote:

I view this as sharp because despite all evidence to the contrary considering Dodgers weak offense l think Yesavage won’t be in terribly long. Bullpens have been thru the wringer. Thinking Dodgers can score was a sharp and contrary perspective immediately after their grossly impotent display.
It’s 8 now and I would wait live for better numbers.
Live I will blindly autobet over 6.5. It’s always been available and has been an ATM. Worked last night.
Playoff baseball is ploppy wagering at its finest. Dodgers 2:1 is insanity. -207 now. No World Series team should be 2:1. There are a million Druff’s out there in the naked city who are experienced gamblers who simply can’t take the value. YOU take some Jays if you are a committed EV bettor. You really have to have daily action to yield the value. Maybe you skip this.
My perspective is skewed cause I have Dodgers futures like the spineless traitor that I am
Sit tight and wait for a better total. Patience has value. Either pitcher could get lit up in the 1st but then we move on and go to plan B.
8 has push potential but there is only one hockey game so a cultured individual has time to live bet.
BCR: Yep. He’s basically taking jobs none of us could when we were young and knew it was awesome, but you’d be living in a trailer if you didn’t go make some money
I imagine ski worker culture is like restaurant employee culture. There is a daily after party and it’s a gathering of outgoing personalities.
I wonder if the ski resort venture capital now offers housing to address the labor problem in resorts populated by billionaires
Jayjami is an interesting character who shares bits of his life …. the sort of lib who has ruined this site and must be purged for the glory of the PFA Reich
